NCAA Basketball: Top 25 features upsets galore
By Doug Winkey
10. Oregon Ducks
Previous Ranking: 5
Record: 19-3 (8-1 Pac-12)
A shocking loss at Colorado dropped the Ducks out of their first-place tie in the Pac-12. The team looks to bounce back against Arizona State, but the real test is on Saturday when fellow top 25 program Arizona visits Eugene.
Oregon’s usual stars took a backseat in the Colorado defeat. Just one guy, Dylan Ennis, met his season scoring average with 10 points. Dillon Brooks, Jordan Bell, Tyler Dorsey and Chris Boucher all struggled. The only other player of note was freshman Payton Pritchard, who blew up for 19 against the Buffaloes. As nice as his performance was, the Ducks have more important stars and shouldn’t lose to basement dwellers the way they just did.
